Summary

Description
English: This fresco depicts a drunk Hercules, enslaved at the court of the barbarian Queen Omphale of Lydia. She forced him to wear women’s clothing (he’s seen here in a long chiton) and spin wool with the women of the court. Here, Omphale looks on as cupids - representing love - steal Hercules’ weapons, ‘unmanning’ him. From the House of the Prince of Montenegro, Pompeii (Insula Occidentale, VII 16, 13, 10). MANN inv. 9000.
